SilentWolf

Well I will aim to have it done in the next couple days. Though the rigging and masts always takes longer than I expect, which is why I am glad I have a little buffer.

I thought I had until the 31st which would give me 5 days?

HMS Whisper is almost complete. She will be ready to sail for this month's MRCA. Here is a quick preview of her present state. 20160326_212018

I was trying to create the brick and mortar look. It ended up being a little weird looking as people have noted so if I do it again I need to find a different way to do it. I agree that it turned out looking like a classic Lego.

I like it BrickOn. A very formidable warship with which to govern the seas.

Elizabeth had been glad that Micah was back from the expedition into the new waters. She was glad to hear the many tales of the new nations they had met. He told her about their customs, habits and lifestyles. He also told her about their find beneath the ground. He promised her that though they would have to be away from each other a few more times, it would not last forever. This morning she had come over after breakfast, and they enjoyed some time together on the balcony. They saw a man rushing toward the office and postulated why he might be in such a hurry. A few minutes later, Gregory came running over bearing a letter in his hands. He began to pound on the door. Micah went down and received the letter and the urgent message of the courier. Upon opening the letter he read: To Micah of Wolfhaven, son of Lord Alexander, We regret to inform you of the passing of your father, Lord Alexander of Wolfhaven, on the 16th of March, 615 AE. The funeral will be held on the 20th of March, 615 AE. We regretfully understand that this message will not reach you in time to return for the funeral. We would request your presence in Bellson as soon as is possible to settle any outstanding matters in regards to the estate of your father. Your mother also wishes for you to come during this trying time. If you are unable to depart for Bellson at this time, please send a notice on the next ship headed to Bellson so that we can be assured of your receipt of this notice and your soon arrival. With deepest condolences, Lord Mark Crawford, Esquire SAM_7210 SAM_7213 SAM_7214 SAM_7229 SAM_7279 If you wish to read the backstory to Micah and his companions follow this link for all builds I have made for BOBS. Backstory

Charles was a man of meticulous detail. He kept detailed records of every horse owned by Lord Alexander of Wolfhaven. These records enabled him to decide which was the best combinations of stallions and mares to breed to get the perfect horses. Some horses were bred for calmness in order to be ridden by children or women. Others were bred for strength in order to pull plows and wagons. These horses are coming into high demand in the new settlements. Recently, though they had been increasing their efforts to breed war horses. The goal is to create a horse that is steady on its feet and that exhibits the courage that prevents them from scaring amid battle sounds and smells. They will be very valuable should they encounter a hostile nation behind the line or if their becomes a conflict with former enemies. The main office has become established in Arlinsport on Amelia street a few blocks down from the Coyle Shipping Company. The Arlinsport location was chosen due to the vastness of land nearby enabling them to raise their horses. Today Charles has a customer in the office who is looking to buy a good pair of plow horses. His young apprentice, Gregory, was sent up to find the records for the pair that the customer was considering to buy. They were in the middle of their transaction when a messenger entered bearing a letter addressed to Micah of Wolfhaven, the son of Lord Alexander. When he was informed that Micah was not yet at the office this morning, he demanded that it must be delivered to Micah at once. The letter's seal also begged for urgency in delivery. Gregory was immediately tasked with running the letter next door to the home that Micah resided in when he was in town.

I love that someone finally did this build. Nice brick built whale. +1 approval from Corrington

This is a cool historical build. Though I'm in agreement with Sir James that the headgear is just plain odd. Keep up the good work.

The whole scene is great with the cool features already mentioned. However, I'm impressed w the photo editing that got the uncle in the experiment tube.

The stories building up to this duel have been quite enjoyable. This latest installment does not let us down. The pictures and posing of these scenes makes the story come to life. I look forward to following the duel into the future. +1 approval from Corrington.

The story is great, but the scenery and foliage are amazing. It looks very much like a real jungle!

I agree that the Friend's horses look cartoon like. However, when I found the Friend's foals I felt like they were enough like the old horses to pass as foals and fillies. There eyes are a little odd, but if you ignore that they do look a lot like gangly young horses. I might have bought a bunch when I found that out...

Approval from Corrington.

Approval from Corrington. I like the varying goods you included. Also the variations to the cobblestone are great.

Sergeant Anthony Bolton and his squad were well prepared for any attack from another nation. (See the former build for backstory.) However, they were not prepared for the danger that lurked on the island. SAM_7254 The wild dogs that lived on the island had never been an issue for the natives. They would see them on occasion and primarily only eating other wildlife or slipping through the forest. The expedition had been told of them, but they had never seen the dogs. It would appear that they had no reason to fear them. However, they did not take into consideration that a new diet might be in desire. SAM_7240 (2) Two of Bolton's soldiers heard the distressed neighs of the filly, and the snarls of the wild dogs. They immediately fired upon the dogs slaying two and chasing off the others. However, they were too late to save the life of the filly. In the future, Bolton is going to need to establish a better perimeter defense against the dangers of the island. Apparently, pirates are not the only dangers in the new islands. SAM_7248 SAM_7246 SAM_7240 Here are a few pictures of the ranch scenes in Cat A and B put together. SAM_7271 SAM_7274

Thank you. I attempted to fix the cannon by the gate, but I definitely had issues with them overall. I shall work on them to improve their placement the next time I use land cannons. Thank you. Of the three styles of fences I have attempted, this is definitely my favorite overall. Thank you. I was hoping the landscaping was improved over my last few attempts.

Corrington approves

Ch2 CatA Defending Horses against Pirates | Silent Wolf | COR Ch2 CatB Unexpected Attack | Silent Wolf | COR

Hidden away on a remote island is a so far undisclosed new settlement. Micah and his partners have founded a horse ranch there with the intention of raising military horses for future exploration in the newly discovered lands. They also reason that if war breaks out the horses will be a deciding factor in battle. They have also discovered that the natives of the islands will be willing to trade goods and services for access to these fine mounted steeds. They know though with the present climate and rush for discovery, the law does not always reach as far into the sea of storms as one might hope. In order to guarantee the safety of their venture, they have built some basic fortifications. The thatch roofed watch tower serves as a overlook both to the land and sea. It also enables accurate measurements for the aiming of the two 12 pounder cannons left behind to defend against any attack whether by land or by sea. A small force of militiamen, led by Sergeant Anthony Bolton, have been left in charge of protecting the horses, as well as operating the every day aspects of the ranch. They are also training to become a new mounted light dragoon unit ready for service for her majesty when she might call. Today one of the natives has stopped by to see what horse might be available for his purchase. Other than that all has been calm. Little did they know that danger lurked nearby.

I just finished Challenge 2a and 2b today. Hopefully, I can get pictures taken and posted tomorrow. Next week will be busy for me so I'm pushing to also have my first two freebuild ready for pictures.

I received mine today in Texas, USA. Thank you CopMike!
